Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
I am routinely swapping between versions of Xcode. You can obviously hover to see the version name, but being able to quickly at a glance see the version in the dock would be great.

It is not
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
I would like to see an option added that allows Xcodes to change the app icon on install with an overlay of the version. For example:
My particular example is probably a bit too small and unreadable on anything but a retina screen (should be a larger overlay that covers the icon). However, it would still be extremely helpful to see versioning at a glance
